Has anyone been approved from Frankfurt Consulate in the last few weeks? I feel like they shut down everything and no one is working there anymore.

I’m a British passport holder. I applied for a single entry tourist visa at thaievisa.go.th in early October. Having done this in 2022 I expected it to take a matter of days. I submitted the last of the requested documents towards the end of Oct but still today my application was pending in the system. All research suggested waiting for 30 days before getting worried, but I emailed visa.lon@mfa.go.th this morning and got the visa approved this afternoon.

Just wanted to share the benefit of emailing the embassy should you have any concerns.

Has anyone applied for a Tourist Visa in London recently? If so how long did it take for the visa to be authorised? I understand they state its currently 15 working days but was wondering if people have been getting earlier than 15 days.

4/5 Weeks for DTV application from London embassy?!

Hi guys, after waiting ages, I managed to get through to the Thai embassy in London via phone call.

After asking a few questions about the Visa, I finished by asking how long processing would take expecting her to say a few days or a week or two tops.

But instead, she said it would be about 4-5 weeks! I wasn’t expecting that. I told her I’ve heard of people getting it within a few days online. But her answer didn’t change.

Hello! How many days should i book and show proof of accompdation? I am doing muay thai dtv and applying in Hanoi. Also someane told me to book the cheapest hostel for 14 days and then cancel and show that and then book my own. I was wondering if my legit 5 day stay hotel will be sufficient for application. Thank you!

I applied for Dtv (business) through the e-visa service in Sweden, application submitted 19 October, it's still pending document check. So almost 3 weeks with no progress. Anyone knows if this is normal?

hello everyone. would like to know your experiences in HCMC about non B and non O. I‘m sure this topic has been discussed multiple times, but waiting here become more and more anxious as we are not home and we do not know when we can go back home. So like to have some good faith or average timeline from your past experiences .

My husband submitted application for non B on 28th Oct, asked and gave additional documents on 29th Oct, became pending approval since 31st Oct, still waiting.

I can only apply my non O when he has his visa approved.

On embassy website, it says 5 working days . from what i read, it's barely ever 5 working days, what is your processing time? how did you pass by these anxious waiting time😂
